Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP). Over time, the critical load approach has been defined not only at international but also at regional and local levels (Posch et al., 1993, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003 Bashkin, 1997, 2002). 

As mentioned earlier (see Chapter 3), a unique exceedance does not exist when considering both sulfur and nitrogen, but for a given deposition of S and N one can always determine whether there is non-exceedance or not. The two maps on the top of Figure 4 show that the percent of ecosystem area is protected from acidifying deposition of S and N in 1990 and 2010. In 1990 less than 10% of the ecosystem area is protected in large parts of central and western Europe as well as on the Kola peninsula, Russia. Under the scenario of the 1999 multi-pollutant, multi-effect Protocol of UNECE LRTAP Convention (CDR 2010), the situation improves almost everywhere, but is still far from reaching complete protection.

The first agreement to control transboundary air pollution was connected with the signing of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN ECE) Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP) by 32 European countries, plus Canada and the USA, in 1979. In a protocol added to this convention in 1985,...
